The Electric Park Brake (EPB) actuators are electro-mechanical positioning units attached to the rear brake calipers. Each actuator incorporates a reversible electric motor driving an output shaft through a worm drive gear.
The output shaft of the EPB actuator is engaged in the splined end of a spindle. It is inside the brake caliper piston and screwed into a ball screw drive. Operation of the electric motor turns the spindle and produces linear movement of the ball screw drive. At the same time a target clamp load is applied to the brake pads.
